some of the InternetConfig parameters require a hint.
The Docs explaining this are a little light on.
Can someone give me some examples of valid values
for hint and the context in which they are used??

The hint is basically the URL scheme for URLs that don't have schemes. For example, in a mail program, if you call ICLaunchURL, you would supply a hint of "mailto", because it's likely that folks have put things like that aren't URLs, such as email@hidden, into the text, and users would like to be able to click on them. IC ignores the hint if the URL contains better information. For example, if the 'URL' is www.apple.com, IC will see the "www", deduce that this is a web address, and ignore the hint.
